Hi all, two questions I likely should have asked before starting. I have more than one sound card in the test machine I am using, a souldblaster awe 32, and a soundblaster pro live, or clone of one. This computer has nothing whatsoever on its hard drive, although the items are installed, enough that the installer should be able to find them. I considered something else too, does the installer actually require a connected monitor? I obviously have a video card, but made this first try without moving the unit near my monitor. thanks for any wisdom here, Karen
